No guarantee that Dallas Cowboys DC Dan Quinn gets head coaching job this offseason

What happens this offseason if Dan Quinn is not offered a head coaching position?
After the Dallas Cowboys’ season-ending defeat, the dust has settled, and we are currently awaiting word from Jerry

Jones regarding his future. Given that the NFL playoffs are still ongoing, the coaching staff is now the only major

aspect of the team that could be changed. Dallas may decide to part ways with head coach Mike McCarthy (more

information on this later this week), and over the past few weeks, we have accepted the notion that a new defensive

coordinator would be required.

For the third year running, Dan Quinn has drawn a lot of attention and is presumably in high demand. Quinn has

been asked by five teams thus far (we are keeping tabs on this for you), and although he seems most fitting for one of

them (Seattle), it is possible that none of them will select him.

Then, what occurs?

Dan Quinn may not automatically be hired as head coach during this summer.

It seems fantastic on the surface that Dan Quinn has decided to rejoin the Cowboys and serve as their defense

coordinator over each of the last two offseasons.

Is it too much to assume, though, that Quinn has never received an offer he couldn’t reject from a team? Obviously

not, as he turned them all down. Quinn has been a tremendous success managing Micah Parsons and Co., but in a

way, everyone who has thought of Quinn as a potential head coach subsequently has let him walk out of the building.

When we combine that reality with the one we currently have, where Dan Quinn has struggled for the Cowboys in the

closing minutes, is it not also reasonable to draw the conclusion that perhaps everyone will feel more called in

different directions?

Quinn’s case is not helped by the fact that his most recent stretch was one of his weakest and that his team kept

breaking down as the season went on.

While it would be unjust and irrational to include only Dan Quinn’s last seven games’ worth of work, they do

important and may even end up carrying more weight than anything else. When someone has been fading at an

extremely high pace, why hire them?

Quinn has done a fantastic job

Quinn has done a fantastic job developing a kind of “secret sauce” with the Cowboys, but it has relied on a few essential components, including one that is vital to turnover production.

Despite the fact that this is very typical for title contenders, the Cowboys are 3-9 in his three seasons with the team

when they do not force a turnover. This shows that they are not always able to hold out and force enough stops that

do not include taking the ball away.

Quinn’s ability to force so many turnovers with the Cowboys is mostly due to the defensive talent he has at his

disposal, most notably Micah Parsons. Again, it seems possible that every team would pass on Quinn because they

might not have that crucial player on their squad from which Quinn could profit.

Quinn did not appear in any of ESPN’s Dan Graziano’s predictions

In any case, Quinn did not appear in any of ESPN‘s Dan Graziano’s predictions for the head coach of any team with

an opening on Wednesday. In case you were wondering, Mike Vrabel was the one who was predicted to go to Seattle.

This would indicate that Quinn would be free. We previously discussed at BTB that Quinn might take over as head

coach at the facility where he currently works, but what if his sole choice is to go back to his previous role as

defensive coordinator? Is that anything that anyone would want?

In the big picture, it’s evident that the Cowboys need to make adjustments, but this one felt uncontrollable.

Will they be the ones to let go of Dan Quinn? Is he being held responsible for all that has occurred? Although it is

evident that adjustments are required on defense, his three seasons’ worth of work is still excellent. Although it

might seem like the best course of action, moving on is not always an easy decision.
